JAMA: Caring for an Aging US Population—the Good News & the Bad News
JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) recently highlighted the complex issues surrounding elder care in the US. While acknowledging the challenges, the article also spotlights promising solutions, including the village model.
Among the innovative approaches mentioned:
“A growing network of senior villages uses teams of volunteers to assist their aging neighbors by providing transportation, companionship, help with shopping and other services, and links to support services.”
This recognition in JAMA underscores the village model’s potential to address critical needs in our aging population. Village Movement California is proud to be part of this solution, offering community-based support that enhances the quality of life for older adults across our state.
